Current Career: NAVY PRIVATEER

The Navy cannot be everywhere at once and so they offer EX Navy members to join this crew and still support the Navy in various ways. Mostly like a reserve, they do not use these in combat, but more as support, drop off and pick ups, and moving troops and equipment around, If they are needed nearby they will call on for help but that is not what this group is meant for. If you do not have your own ship Navy lends you one while on the job. The bonuses they give out at the end of our are ship shares so can get your own ship in the end. If you did 4 terms in the Navy if you do 4 years with these guys the Navy grants you retirement 1st level.
Routine Tasks: Drop off and Pick up troops and equipment in Hot Zones, Give last min air support if needed in the area, talk to active members about what waits for them after the navy (Like what you're doing), and visit schools to help drum up new recruits. IF fights break out they are to end them fast and get out, they are train to strike fast, first and withdraw.

RANK ABILITIES

Navy Quick Draw

While on the job you can draw any weapon and put it away as a free action. 

First to Strike (Ex)

While on the Job, you can act in surprise rounds,  even if you fail to notice the attack. You are still flat-footed until you act. When starting in the surprise round, you get to add your Rank to your Init roll.

Critical First Strike (Ex)

If you are not surprised and your target is and is flat-footed in the opening surprise round, your first attack can auto critical hit. You must decide before rolling of dice and this can only be done once every 24 hours and never on the same target twice even after 24 hours have past.  

Rally the Troops (Combat)

As a move action, you can attempt to help any other NAVY PRIVATEER shrug off minor injuries. Make a Bluff or Diplomacy check opposed by the allies Sense Motive check. The ally gains a number of temporary hp equal to the amount your check exceeds their check with a maximum not to exceed your Charisma bonus x rank or their total HPs. These temporary HP wear off after 1 minute. A creature may not gain temporary hp from this ability more than once per day and you can only do it 3 times a day max.

Background Career: Alternate class abilities

Starship Evasion (Ex):

May make a Reflex Save DC 15 +1 for every 10 points of damage taken to reduce any damage to his starship by 1⁄2. If the Pilot fails this Save, his craft takes full damage. The defense modifier of the starship (positive or negative) is applied to the Pilot’s Reflex Save. This ability may not be used by a craft larger than G size. Must have Damage Control to take this.

Improved Starship Evasion (Ex):

May make a Reflex Save DC 15 +1 for every 10 points of damage taken to reduce any damage to his starship to zero. If the Pilot fails this Save, his craft takes full damage. The defense modifier of the starship (positive or negative) is applied to the Pilot’s Reflex Save. This ability may not be used by a craft larger than G size. This ability may only be used once per round. Must be 10th-level Navy to take this.

Power Down!

When engaged in a starship battle your reflexes are so sharp you can shut down all nonessential systems and drift almost undetectable by sensors. At any turn where your ship loses line of sight of the ship you are piloting, you can power down the ship as a free action. When ships are trying to detect you, they have a -15 to any check and you have 40% miss chance on any attacks even if you do detect you. You cannot move or fire while under this effect. It takes a move action to fully power up your ship again.  

Damage Control:

When making checks to use damage Control can add his 1/2 his navy rank level to the damage fixed each round.

Tactics Experience:

When rolling for Piloting at the beginning of combat, can take 10 on your roll, if you take this twice can take 20. This only works on 1st round of ship-to-ship combat. Must have Command Presence.

The Right Stuff:

Some pilots have the right stuff and some don’t. Get into a dogfight and you’ll find out who is who quickly. He may add his navy levels to any piloting check a number of times per combat equal to his Dex modifier. Must use this before the dice are rolled.

Outside of the Envelope (Ex):

Hotshots love speed above all else. As a famous military strategist once intoned, “speed kills”. Hotshots live (and die) by this motto. A number of times per combat equal to Dex Modifier, the Hotshot may add a +1 to the hex movement of his craft for one round per every 5 levels of character. By taking this a 2nd time can add +2 hexes.
